Programmable Oscillators
Introduction to Programmable Oscillators
Programmable oscillators are used in many different applications and systems. They provide an adjustable frequency output for a specific duration and can be adjusted to provide a specific frequency output for a particular period of time. Oscillators are used in various industries from radio to robotics, and are also used in military and aerospace applications. Programmable oscillators enable engineers to design small electronic products that accurately control the output frequency from a circuit.
Application Field of DSC6013HI2A-PROGRAMMABLE
The DSC6013HI2A-PROGRAMMABLE Programmable Oscillator (PO) is a highly customizable and reliable application solution that is used in a wide variety of consumer and industrial applications. The oscillator offers a frequency range of 5 MHz to 30MHz, a low-jitter format of 4 ppm, and a fast settling time of only 5.67us. The oscillator can be programmed to operate on both single-ended and differential output signals. This makes the PO suitable for a wide range of applications, such as motor control and motion control systems, digital control systems, measurement and calibration systems, medical instrumentation and medical monitoring systems, and power electronics.
Working Principle of DSC6013HI2A-PROGRAMMABLE
The DSC6013HI2A-PROGRAMMABLE is a precision timing source that relies on a crystal oscillator to provide a stable output frequency. The crystal is a quartz oscillator that is cut and sealed into a metal package. The quartz crystal is an inductance-capacitance (LC) resonator, meaning it is composed of two metal plates - one for the inductance, and the other for the capacitance. The metal plates are then drilled to create a resonating cavity with the quartz crystal in the middle.
To begin operation, an external voltage is applied to the crystal oscillator. This voltage generates an electric field in the resonating cavity that causes the quartz crystal to vibrate at a certain frequency. This vibration is then picked up by the rest of the device circuitry, including the transistors, resistors, and capacitors. The amplified signal is then used to generate an accurate and repeatable output frequency.
The output frequency of the device can be adjusted or programmed via a programming pin. To change the frequency, the user just needs to adjust the voltage sent to the programming pin. The programming pin allows the user to set the frequency within a range of 5 MHz to 30MHz.
Conclusion
The DSC6013HI2A-PROGRAMMABLE Programmable Oscillator (PO) is a highly customizable and reliable timing solution for a wide range of applications and systems. The device relies on a quartz crystal oscillator to provide a stable output frequency, and the output frequency can be adjusted or programmed via a programming pin. The PO offers a wide frequency range, low jitter, and fast settling time, making it ideal for a variety of consumer and industrial applications.
